Google Update on Google Fiber

Google is delaying, until early 2011, an announcement on which community or communities will be selected to get an ultra high-speed broadband network. Google had hoped to make an announcement in 2010, but nearly 1,100 communities responded to the experiment and the company is delaying a decision "to make sure we get this right." Medin joined Google this week as vice president of Access Services to oversee the Google Fiber team. Over the past several months Medin has been following the progress the team has already made -- from experimenting with new fiber deployment technologies here on Google’s campus, to announcing a “beta” network to 850 homes at Stanford.
